What name did your DH come up with for your babies that you hated?

[FortunesFave]

DH wanted to call our first DD Charlie.

Fucking Charlie!

SO many lovely girls' names and he comes up with that.

Sorry if your is called that...it's nice enough I suppose but it's just not something I'd choose for a girl.

@Lairymary

Bad news for you, he can still nickname a child Buddy at any time, very few Buddies were actually born Buddy.

[AledsiPad]

Linda.

Really!

@PearlAsylum

Edmund.

Classic name, yes, but I could only think of Blackadder and the horrible Narnia one.

My second DS’s name! I love it but in a weird twist of fate he looks like a more handsome version of Roman Atkinson. Also you forgot Edmund from King Lear and the fact that he is the patron saint of pandemics!

[TarasCrazyTiara]

Tbh in my experience it’s normally the Mums who come up with the dumbest names that kids would never want. Either something really pretentious for boys like Orlando or Theodore or something that they think is cute but the kid will hate, or something that is a nickname of a pop star or celeb for girls like Billie or Court (yes Court).

I opened this with Charlie in my head 🤣 my dh and kids wanted to call youngest ds Charlie, I wanted Sebastian. They watched some stupid twisted unicorn thing where they would say Charlie in a really irritating (to me anyway 🤣) way and I was absolutely against it. My waters went and on the way to the hospital I went into a panic that we hadn't settled on a name....I ended up agreeing to Charlie just so he had a name, but it suits him to perfection and I honestly couldn't see him as anything else now after all that!!

God DD (who wasn't Charlie) was nameless for two weeks! She was just "The Baby" whilst we wrangled.

My ex told me that in no uncertain terms his first son would be named Alan... Yeah we never ended up having kids (for more reasons than just that)

@Iamclearlyamug

My exH wanted Primrose. Primrose ffs - could that sound any more like a farmers pet name for a cow? 🤦‍♂️😂 absolutely over my dead body!

I wanted Primrose and DH was horrified! He was all "NO WAY!" and I still think it's lovely.

DS wanted Marceline for a girl and Merlin for a boy. Nothing particularly wrong with either name, but so not what I wanted!

[LemonElephant]

He's just reminded me of another one!... Marcelo AKA the leeds untied manager!! Honestly I don't know how i've put up with him for so long..

[Blackkitty]

Melanie… nothing wrong with it but definitely not my cup of tea.

Although I wanted toaster for a boy so can’t talk.. lol

[IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere]

Left to his own devices my husband would have chosen Clifford for our first born which I vetoed from the start. Our second daughter he suggested the name of a cartoon character. Not a niche anime character, a character from a strip cartoon in the daily paper. However it is a beautiful name with lots of lovely options for shortening it and it met our criteria to include a not to his grandmother so we went with it.

@Aussiegirl123456

Our first son, husband really wanted to call him Shefki (pron chef key) after shefki kuqi, a polish soccer player I had a crush on.

I quite like Shefki!

[Lairymary]

Buddy (the fucking elf) he nearly wore me down too as I couldn't think of a name we both loved. Good job baby came out a girl. Phew!

[RaininSummer]

Mary and Julia. Nothing wrong with these names but not what I had in mind for my late eighties and early 90s babies.

[RubyTuesday70]

DH wanted to use his late mothers' name. Which I wasn't comfortable with full stop, but it was a very old fashioned name that hasn't come back round again like a lot of others .........

However, my nan had a very similar name and we stumbled across the welsh version of this quite by accident and loved it.... so our 1st DD was named after both of them in a roundabout way.

[TommyShelby]

Buddug… I was tearing my hair out. I couldn’t imagine a baby Buddug born in this century! 🙈

[AuntMargo]

@BiteySpears

Bruce for a boy.

He would protest that I wanted Arcadia for a girl.

Bruce is a dogs name, my dog lol

[Livingthemagicyears]

After reading these my dhs taste is lovely, if not just quite plain. His suggestions which I now actually love one and would use if we ever had another were, Lucy, Amy and Jack.

[User310]

Dianne and Crystal 😒 .. born 14 years ago.

[Ohfudgeme]

Name's my husband wanted.

Girl- Elektra, lulu, Mercedes
Boy- Norton, kal-El, Thor, Aston

[lottiegarbanzo]

Wolf. It's always Wolf.

[Wisewordswouldhelp]

Aethelred for a boy and Sally for a girl....

[Lucyinthesky07]

In 1999 (first baby) he came up with Wendy.
I'm assuming that he wasn't very clued up on what babies were being called at that time, so went through the girls he'd gone to school with 30 years previously!
